Class discussion

In the group we discussed everyone’s work, we suggested new ideas that can be used in the book, also we looked at the pictures and give opinion about whether it work or not. I suggested for Khadija some other problems that she can consider in her place, which is VCU Qatar, for example the problem of cutting on to the tables not on the cutting matt. I think I can understand their situation and suggest more because I also live in this space, but for them it was hard to suggest ideas. Some of their scenes needs to be exaggerated, as well as mine, also including people in them will help me more and also after that I need to show them back the pictures and see whether the message is shown or not. (Fatima Buksahisha, Jo, Khadija Safri)

phase 2 process a



P1.2 Research
I went to the place several times, to take pictures and stay there to notice the problems, many of the pictures I eliminated them when thinking about serious problems, the things that I cant solve, and it is technical problem in the place itself. For example the pollution of the factories that are thrown in the see, also the smell sometimes is bad because of the sewer. Thee problems don’t work at all

P1.2 Process a
Other problems that I was thinking of ,but didn’t work very well, the first one was Ory’s sculpture color is being pealed because of the wither and at the bottom because people go there to take pictures and sit on his shoe. Another problem that was very specific and didn’t work, it is the restaurant, the kitchen door is opened by the oil container and there was many things laying on the ground that makes problem for the people wen walking around it. The last problem is the electricity box, some of them don’t have signs for don’t touch or dangerous while others have but still can be opened.

phase 2 process b



P1.2 Process b
When I discussed the list of problems with my group (khadeja and Jo), the things that work well was 3
1: people throw trash in the see without caring about the environment and the species in the see, it also rewinds the places look.
2: the wet grass, people go there for picnics and sit on the grass sometimes they don’t notice that the grass is wet.
3: the ground is not flat, some of the tiles are broken and sometimes teenagers broke glass on the ground.

Fatima Bukshaisha, Corniche, process






Ideas:
First stage is taking pictures of the place and actually feeling the mood it is translated while I am in the Corniche. I wanted to include recognizable features of the Corniche.

Visualize:
I looked at every thing then I used the pictures that affects the audience more, the ones who reminded me of that place. People most of the time go there to walk or look at the see. I noticed the lines of perspective all the way when looking at the place. The pallet is dull (grayish\bluish) due to the weather in Qatar, which is most of the time not clear.

System:
The composition consists of three layers. I wanted it to have depth because the Corniche I a very opened space, so I thought of it as layers that combines the see, the sky, the boats, and the ground.

Note:
The pictures I posted are some of the major changes I did wile working on the poster.
